Brampton Skate Park: Lighting and Improvements

We are creating this petition to try and improve our local skatepark as many people in the area use it daily. We would like propose that improvements such as lighting, a drainage system and possibly an extension to the skatepark. This would be a dream come true for the locals using the facility on a regular basis.

The skatepark in Brampton is the only facility of its kind in the Brampton Parish area. Hence it is the only option for BMX, skateboard and scooter riders of all ages in the local community to use.

However recently use has become restricted due to a lack of lighting, drainage issues causing the surface to remain flooded & wet, general deterioration from regular use and has become cramped due to increased numbers of BMX riders using the somewhat small facility.

If these improvements were to be added to the skatepark it may also attract visitors from outside the area wanting to use the improved facility. Many local users of the facility travel around the country to visit various skateparks such as the newly built ‘Kie Park’ in Whitehaven.

Recently Brampton skatepark has been featured on the popular social media page RIDE UK BMX, being named the ‘Worst Skatepark in Cumbria’!
